The queen who paid for her storied extravagance at the blade of the guillotine during the French Revolution gets a spirited defense in this intriguing documentary made in 2006. Using sculpture, paintings, architecture and clips of movies about the period, the film charts the life of the Austrian princess from her arranged marriage to French ruler Louis XVI to her controversial reign as queen to her bitter end. This take on the privileged queen insists that while she may been shallow and silly, she was not responsible for what ailed France under Louis' rule and did nothing to warrant her terrible fate.
